I’m sure some will find a way to attach it to a chest pouch along with the rest of the kitchen sink

Where are you in Scotland ?

East fife.

Simpson game collect from central Scotland so might do Fife too.

Just call them and ask, if they do then you complete a simple new supplier form.

You must have a chiller facility of some sort

Thanks, will try them

With "Scotland" as your location it is a big place! to send a van dealers won't rock up for 1 deer.
Highland Game would be a start.

I’m in east fife as I said in my post. I will give them a try. Thanks

Are you still required to have the same certification for selling on GUTG as to a game dealer?

Can't say for certification but I'd guess so
I do know as per FSA etc you are liable even if you give venison away

As above. Just don't expect to get rich from it.

I’m under no illusion that I’ll make money from this. But I thought I may be able to at least cover the cost of some bullets. And I certainly don’t want to shoot them then just leave them to rot. I don’t have the time to process and eat as many as I’ll be able to shoot.

 

[ForFoxSake]

How many a year do you expect to be able to supply?

Maybe 20 a year.

Maybe 20 a year.

I’d say barter with friends and family for some whisky or firewood

If you’re selling 20 Roe carcasses you’ll be looking at a game dealer return of between £450-£600 which is not much for the time and effort involved but will cover the cost of a few boxes of factory ammunition.

Peterborough were previously paying £2.00 per KG and sometimes £2.30 per KG for Roe collected.

I know at least two people who have given up dealing with them due to creative accounting on the carcass write down front, and then not paying up for months. Both have resorted to butchering at home and just handing out venison to farmers and friends instead

Thanks for the info.
